The Shikha range, a mountainous ridge between the Drichu (Yangtze) and the Gyalthang plateau, is the “Protector Mountain” of many settlements in the Gyalthang region.
The Shikha range boasts spectacular wildlife, forests, alpine lakes, and the aroma of rhododendrons, azaleas, and wild irises. If you are lucky, you may see the fabled blue poppy in bloom.
